Verbs are given the direction relationship, purpose, intention, temporal sequence, aspect, etc. relational motion that imposes meaning relations; It is accepted as a universal category such as tense, aspect and mood. The associated motion, which was first detected in Australian languages, was generally accepted as a morphological category and this view has been accepted for many years, but recent studies have shown that a grammatical category with universal features is met only by morphological means in all languages showed that it can be encoded by grammatical means (syntactic, lexical). As the number of studies on associated movement increases, it has strengthened the view that this category is not just a morphological category. This study aims to reveal that the associated motion, which is accepted as a universal category, also exists in Turkish and is coded through morpho-syntactic and lexical means. In this study, which is important because it is the first study on associated motion in Turkish, it is argued that the relative motion in Turkish is coded with multi-verb structures (serial verb structures, compound verbs) and the tense suffixes and gerund suffixes used in the formation of these structures play a morphological role. In the study, examples of associated motion in Turkish were identified from written sources and spoken language and divided into two classes (associated motion in the form of compound verbs, related actions in the form of serial verbs) according to their functions. This study will provide some data for studies on associated motion in Turkish, as well as the opportunity to evaluate Turkish according to its associated motion features in cross-linguistic research.
